January 5-6th, 2025 The Double Digit Storm

[BCW]

Monroe currently has a dry spot over us. Nothing coming down right now but very light flurries.

18Z NAM looks great with that low track that I mentioned above.. CVG gets tickled with sleet barely and the dry slot narrowly misses us to the south. Wonderful back end snows too. The call looking golden at this time. QPF for CVG is 1.32"

Paducah back to frz/rain and no doubt colder than expected even with the thunderstorm last hour

[tron777]

LOU has sleet with Fort Knox, Frankfort, and LEX all reporting snow still.

[tron777]

A nice band coming into my hood again and my snow has picked back up to steady status.

Not snowing here yet. There are good returns overhead but I'm still waiting for the column to saturate. I'm encouraged though by the nice returns to my west about a county row to my north. Once the column is saturated I will see decent banding.

Update to that. As soon as I posted that, I'm now starting to see the first flakes so the column has begun to saturate.

Les, I see that on radar. Not to be negative in anyway but there seems to be more low intensity areas showing up on radar through southern IN and my quess is that is all part of the course of this storm?

Going to try to stay ahead as much as possible...lol...don't want to shovel 12" all at onceIMG_20250105_144703903_HDR.jpg

Love the ducks

Thank you, we have a couple ducks that come visit every spring on top of the pool cover...so we figured it was fitting

Snow is a lot more scattered than I expected. In a heavy band right now but I feel like if we keep missing this pockets of heavy snow the overall total will be less than expected. OR If we end up getting the heavy bands it could be much more than expected.

Nothing here yet in Greenville, but from previous posts, probably in the 5 to 6 PM time frame. Will be pleasantly surprised if earlier.

Radar filled in over southern / central Darke Co. but so far not seeing any actual flakes here in south Greenville.

My Dad and I went to Kroger and it was the first time that, being there, the whole cart corral inside the store was empty. Thankfully a Kroger employee in the parking lot gave us a cart as we were heading to the store.

2” here and a break in progress

[shlybluz]

Intensity here has picked up a notch. Borderline mod almost hvy snow. Oh man this is getting good!

Love it Les and did you see the returns from St.Louis. Very heavy snow going around that area

Yep! My Aunt in St Charles reported thundersnow in the last hour. They are getting 2"+ per hour rates.

If any of y'all are on Reddit, there are some nice pictures of the Arch, the old courthouse and downtown in the St. Louis subreddit. They are a from a post from 4 hours ago, but it gives a good perspective, it appears the visibility was pretty bad.

[Bgoney]

Moderate batch near Louisville should move into NK, then the heavy stuff downriver for evening

just measured my front stoop, untreated concrete, 2-1/4" as of 3:37pm, visibility probably less than 1/4mi as cannot see Blue rock Rod/Reagan Hwy now. Snow has found another gear. Roads were slushy 10-15min ago, now filling in with white.

Getting hammered here now and the intensity comes and goes. Should be getting to that 3" mark by 4pm or so if this keeps up. But yeah, it comes and goes. Mesoscale banding.

6” officially at Louisville with sleet moving in there in about an hour

We have Louisville in the 6-10" zone so that should work out nicely with the deformation snows, too.

[airwolf76]

looks pretty good so far guys. they are having a heck of a time out in KC yet. watching live streams with people stuck all over. that is what you will be dealing with later tonight and into the day tomorrow

[allowat3]

3:41 report from Williamstown: the hounds say we’ve had 4 inches of snow so far and we have a snow/sleet mix.

[kywthrluvr]

Pouring snow here. I can barely see the houses across the street.

Officially snowing nicely here now!

Snow needs to pick up!! No way we see even 6" if it snows at this rate congrats to Cinci as it looks like you will get burried

Awesome to hear! You are just to my west. We will see how the banding sets up for us I-70 posters. Liking what I see. We are now saturating the column. If we can get a couple decent bands along I-70 as the event unfolds we may do ok.

[tron777]

Getting hammered here! 1" per hour rates if this can keep up.

[Bgoney]

Qpf rates per hour currently. Blob downriver in the .20”+ ph.

Snow has picked up quite nicely. If this rate continues its about 1 maybe 2 inches per hour rate. LOVE IT
